Ladies please beware. I was induced at pres st Luke's. I was resting and my arm went into a position where I was bleeding into my pitocin drip line instead of it going into my arm. The nurse, instead of running a new line, flushed it and put a huge dose of pitocin into my body all at once. This caused a contraction that nearly stopped my babies heart, and I ended up with an emergency C section. Thank god dr Faust was there to calmly and quickly deliver my baby. Even though the nurse was crying and apologizing as I was rushed out of the room and into surgery, the mistake was NEVER mentioned, brought up, discussed, nothing. I was so drugged up from my emergency c-section I didn't even remember what had happened until after i went home. I still have nightmares about the experience.
